THE FUTURE ATTACKS YOU FROME BEHIND
Issue 9, August 16, 2010

Hi everyone,

Well, it's been too long since I've done one of these updates. I've been hiding away, shrugging off my duty to spam my friends once a month with advertisements for poetry readings that they probably already know about. But no more.

=========================
IN THIS ISSUE
1. Idiolexicon TOMORROW
2. Mike McGee's In Search of Midnight - August 22 and 29
3. Bay Area Poetry Marathon - August 28
4. Studio One with Joseph Lease and Steffi Drewes - September 3
=========================


=========================
1. Idiolexicon TOMORROW
=========================
The Idiolexicon Poetry Series in back with a vengeance at Rancho Parnassus, a new number-theory-themed restaurant on 6th street. Come out and see three innovative poets, Carrie Hunter, Della Watson and Jessica Wickens. Della and Jessica will be performing excerpts from their new project, The Crow and Benjamin Letters. From what I hear, there will be a projector involved. And I know there's nothing you people like more than multimedia components.

=========================
2. Mike McGee's In Search of Midnight - August 22 and 29
=========================
Mike McGee has been a part of the Bay Area performance poetry scene for years. I don't know where he lives now (I think he might actually live on HBO somehow?) but we have a rare chance to see him in an evening of poetry and storytelling at the SF Playhouse. Come see one of the most entertaining performers in America.

Mike McGee's In Search of Midnight

3. Bay Area Poetry Marathon - August 28
=========================
If you don't know about the Bay Area Poetry Marathon, then you're the worst. Every summer, Joseph Lease and Donna de la Perriere curate a monthly reading featuring some of the most interesting poetry happening today. These readings always have a great mix of people you've heard of and people you need to hear of. August 28's reading features Garrett Caples, Maxine Chernoff, Junior Clemens, Steffi Drewes, Edward Foster, Lorelei Lee, Erika Staiti, and Brian Strang.

4. Studio One with Joseph Lease and Steffi Drewes - September 3

That's all I've got. It would be great to see at any or all of these. I hope you're having an okay Monday and that you found something good to eat for lunch.

Sincerely,
Elliot
